DCML Digest, Vol 21, Issue 26 tiff format images

[Wdposter@aol.com]

I rarely reply to messages on the list, but Timo, I think you are off base 
here.  Sure  conversations about scanning may be off topic, but helping another 
member by answering a question about scanning comics for the best image is 
not. 
 A Tiff file is another image format, like Jpeg or bitmap.  Scanning and 
saving an image in tiff format results in a smaller file size than if you saved it 
as a jpg, adobe pdf or bitmap image.  (bitmap and pdf images are huge in file 
size) 
Any USA members go see Don Rosa at the Columbus comic con this weekend?   I 
had planned to go but didn't make it.  I am glad Mr. Rosa is making appearances 
at US shows and hope he continues.  Martin

 DCML is hardly the place to discuss about these things, since they are quite 
 off topic. Try searching google.com for scanning comics and picture formats.
